Last updated: May 24, 2018

The TaskRabbit Happiness Pledge (“Happiness Pledge” or “Pledge”) is a part of TaskRabbit, Inc.’s Terms of Service. (Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the definitions set forth in TaskRabbit’s Terms of Service). Nothing in the TaskRabbit Happiness Pledge shall be construed to contradict or otherwise invalidate any part of TaskRabbit’s Terms of Service or Privacy Policy, which remain in full force and effect.

THE TASKRABBIT TERMS OF SERVICE CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER WHICH ARE APPLICABLE TO THIS HAPPINESS PLEDGE AND AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. PLEASE READ THE ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS CAREFULLY. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT BY USING THE TASKRABBIT PLATFORM, YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF SERVICE (INCLUDING THE ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER), THE PRIVACY POLICY, AND THE TERMS OF THIS HAPPINESS PLEDGE (TOGETHER, THE “AGREEMENT”).

What is the “TaskRabbit Happiness Pledge”?

TaskRabbit is a technology platform that allows Users to connect with each other so they can be their most productive selves. Taskers determine what categories they are qualified to task in, and scope the Task directly with their Client. Clients are advised to confirm with their Tasker that s/he is qualified to perform the Task prior to the Task taking place. TaskRabbit does not oversee, monitor, or direct how a Tasker performs a Task, does not monitor Tasks or chat threads between Users, and does not otherwise oversee or assume responsibility for the actions of Users. TaskRabbit is not liable for the acts or omissions of Users, nor does TaskRabbit insure or provide insurance against any losses sustained by Users. That said, TaskRabbit wants Users to be happy about their experience using the TaskRabbit Platform, and the Happiness Pledge is in place to encourage continued use of the TaskRabbit Platform.

If Users fail to resolve an issue between themselves, and subject to the terms, exclusions and limitations set forth in the Agreement (including this TaskRabbit Happiness Pledge), TaskRabbit may offer the following in its discretion on a case-by-case basis:

Clients up to USD One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for Property Damage arising as a direct result of Negligence of a Tasker during performance of a Task through the TaskRabbit Platform;

Users up to USD Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) per occurrence for Bodily Injury sustained by a User who did not cause the injury, as a direct result of Negligence by another User during the performance of a Task through the TaskRabbit Platform;

Clients up to USD Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) per occurrence for Theft of a User’s property by a Tasker during performance of a Task through the TaskRabbit Platform.

Terms and Conditions:
In order to be eligible for payment under the TaskRabbit Happiness Pledge, Users must comply with the following terms and conditions:

The Task giving rise to the Happiness Pledge Claim (“the Claim”) did not require a licensed professional to perform (e.g., this could include plumbing, electrical, medical professionals, legal work, notaries public, licensed general contractors, exterminators, etc);

The Task giving rise to the Claim must not violate TaskRabbit’s Terms of Service;

You must not have submitted a separate Happiness Pledge Claim within ninety (90) days prior to the occurrence of the Task giving rise to the Claim; and

Your TaskRabbit account is in good standing, with no outstanding or pending balances owed to TaskRabbit or other Users.

What is excluded from the TaskRabbit Happiness Pledge?

The TaskRabbit Happiness Pledge does not cover losses or damages to property or bodily injury or loss arising from or in any way related to any of the following (the “Excluded Losses”):

Losses arising from operation of any motor vehicle, bicycle, aircraft or watercraft by a User;

Losses directly or indirectly arising out of flooding, water damage or relating to mildew, mold, fungi, spores, or other bacteria or microorganisms of any type, nature or description, including but not limited to any substance whose presence poses an actual or potential threat to human health;

Losses beyond the specific damaged area (i.e. if the Task caused a scratch in the floor, the Happiness Pledge will address repairs to the scratched area only);

Losses arising out of acts of nature, including but not limited to: pollution, earthquakes, and weather-related events such as rain, wind, etc.;

Losses resulting from cancellation by a Tasker, including increased costs associated with re-booking a new Tasker or hiring a third party ;

Insurance

You understand and agree that the TaskRabbit Happiness Pledge is not insurance, and that no User or third party is an insured or third party beneficiary under the terms of any TaskRabbit insurance policy.

TaskRabbit has the right to subrogate against any person or entity who may be responsible for causing the Losses giving rise to a Claim, including Users or any third party. By making a Claim under this Happiness Pledge you agree you will assist in and cooperate fully with any actions taken by TaskRabbit or its agents to subrogate a Claim.

If you carry insurance that would cover you in the event of a Claim, including but not limited to renter’s insurance, homeowner’s insurance, medical insurance, or an umbrella policy (“Personal Insurance”), you must seek compensation for Losses from your Personal Insurance, prior to seeking compensation by way of the Happiness Pledge. The Happiness Pledge will only compensate for Losses to the extent not otherwise covered by your Personal Insurance. TaskRabbit has the right to provide a User’s contact information to an insurance company or to another User in order to facilitate a resolution of a Claim.

How do I submit a Happiness Pledge Claim?

To submit a claim, please complete the TaskRabbit Resolutions Request Form within fourteen (14) days of the performance of the Task giving rise to the Claim. Payment requests are subject to the terms and conditions noted herein. All Happiness Pledge Claims will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

During our Claims assessment process, you agree to (i) protect and preserve any damaged property that is the basis of a Claim from further damage; (ii) assist or allow TaskRabbit or its agents access to make copies, photographs and recordings of anything relating to the Claim; (iii) allow TaskRabbit or its insurers access to inspect anything relating to the Claim (iv) accept repairs by a Tasker first; (v) accept a replacement only if repairs are proven not to be an option; (vi) submit requested materials by the dates outlined by the TaskRabbit Support or Resolutions Teams; and (vii) accept a replacement item subject to the standard depreciation of that item.

If any part of your Happiness Pledge Claim is approved, then as a condition to any payment to you under the TaskRabbit Happiness Pledge, you will be required to execute and deliver to TaskRabbit the “TaskRabbit Resolutions Agreement”, which includes your agreement:

to assign to TaskRabbit or its insurer any rights and remedies you may have to recover amounts paid to you with respect to an approved Claim from any person or entity that is financially responsible for the approved Claim;

to reasonably cooperate with us, including, at our request, appearing as a witness in any litigation, arbitration, or like proceeding, if we seek to recover from any person or entity the amount paid to you with respect to an approved Claim;

To comply with all deadlines communicated by the TaskRabbit Support or Resolutions Teams in connection with a Claim;
